Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program

**About** America’s substance misuse crisis is a public safety and public health emergency that threatens the well-being of individuals who misuse drugs as well as their families, communities, and, ultimately, the nation. It impacts first responders, the criminal justice system, child welfare and foster care, behavioral health systems, and victim service providers. Supporting the field in addressing this epidemic is one of the U.S. Department of Justice’s top priorities and, at the center of this response, is the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s (BJA) Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP). **COSSUP Goals** Promote public safety and support access to treatment and recovery services in the criminal justice system. Strengthen the collection and sharing of data across systems to understand and address the impact of illicit substance use and misuse. Align and maximize resources across systems and leverage diverse program funding. Prevent illicit substance use and misuse.
